I fixed the markings as much as I could; in fact, I lost count of how many times I redid the process until I reached this point. In the previous times when I had used stencils, I had two factors in my favor that I didn’t have in this situation:

  1. I had the ideal number of stencils to set up the number outside and paint it all at once, and I had the ideal number of stencils to assemble the number outside and paint it all at once, and
  2. The application area was larger. The application space was larger.
    It wasn’t perfect, but it was done with care… According to Cortella (Brazilian philosopher), doing something with care means doing the best you can with the conditions you have… in my case, I didn’t have experience.⁣ :smile:

Continuing with the painting.
I used RAL 8000 Gelbbraun from Ammo (a.mig-0013) diluted in a 70/30 ratio with Ammo Acrylic Thinner (a.mig-2000).
I tried to leave some stains (imperfections) in the coverage of this color over the Dunkelgrau RAL 7021.
I didn’t apply a mask over the markings, and the little bit of paint that “stuck” on top I cleaned with a damp brush before letting it dry completely, I did this on the Africa Corps markings and the Balkenkreuz on the rear.

Wear and chipping

The weathering of RAL 8000 Gelbbraun was done using the drybrush technique with RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau.

Then the chipping using a brush and the sponge technique with 3 colors:

  1. RAL 8000 Yellow Brown (a.mig-0013) + Matt White (a.mig-0050) (50/50)
  2. RAL 7021 Dark Grey (a.mig-0008)
  3. Chipping (a.mig-0044)

I painted the wheel tires with Rubber & tires (a.mig-0033)

The teeth of the tractor pulley of the track with Matt Aluminium (a.mig-0194)

Today…

I painted the tools and utensils. I also painted the tow cable, but I didn’t take any photos.
Regarding the tools:

  • Metal: a.mig-0045 as a base, then wash with a.mig-3031, and finally gun-metal pigment applied with a sponge brush.
  • Wood: base a.mig-0036, drybrush with a.mig-0036+a.mig-0044 (50/50)
  • Bakelite (wire cutter handle): a.mig-0014

A preview of the base…

Streaks / Rain marks

For this technique, I used Streaking Grime for DAK (a.mig-1201).
I didn’t load much, as the vehicle is in the Libyan desert, where rainfall is low, even near the sea in Agedabia.

Wonderful photographs! Did you use a macro lens? The wear and tear effects are well done. Ever wonder about streaking blood from the commanders hatch?

Thanks for the compliments, DAKjunkie.I use my phone, a POCO 75 from Xiaomi. I confess I need to improve my photography skills and get a phone with camera software that can make the most out of the lenses.As for the blood, I didn’t think about it; I’m saving that technique for a diorama I plan to put together based on Normandy.

Dust and Mud

Since the vehicle will have a desert base set in North Africa, and in rare cases, the vehicles ended up with mud and dirt stuck to them, this step was removed from the process. When I do this step, it’s after applying dust.

To create the dust effect, I used North Africa Dust pigment (a.mig-3003) on the top and for the bottom, I applied Nature Effects North Africa Dust (a.mig-1404). To enhance the setting, I decided to add the luggage before dusting it so I wouldn’t have to repeat the process twice.
